Just to add one thing to this.
NOt sure why this happened but it only worked for me when I selected all clips — then with all 246 edits selected, literally checked every box then unchecked every box, then selected the ONE audio angle I wanted to be heard.
Until I checked and unchecked — it just ADDED the newly selected track to the deal. I think it only shows you the selected stuff for where the timeline playhead is — so you have to select all so you can UNselect all…
Just worth noting. thought this may help others.

I know exactly what you mean. I did the same thing 3 years ago with Flash and Actionscript. Took my time doing countless tutorials and teaching myself. I basically got tired of referring all the interactive flash video to a friend of mine (from all my existing clients…) so I started saying yes when they asked if I could do it…which made me learn how to do it. So learning the beast that is Actionscript and Flash was not that big a deal…I think I could easily take a year or longer treating C4D as my new hobby and then start billing my clients for the work…
I appreciate your advice…and it is good to hear from other mac users.
BTW – how will the core app run (minus rendering out of course) on my 1.67 G4 powerbook (1 gig of ram)?? My hobbies usually end up on my laptop…I have a dual 2.7 G5 with 8 gig of ram at my office….

Noah – as usual – you have been extremely helpful and insightful…
I really appreciate your input.
How did your film/movie project with the 24p camera from a year ago turn out?? I think it wasn’t released last time you helped me with something…

Are you saying that I might even waste valuable time trying to learn the interface and then not be able to create anything useful to me…
And for 700 bucks ish – – -after free demo trial – – – I will off to the races…give or take “sky” and whatever else doesn’t come with the base package…
My hope would be to start doing some three-d for clients that I already do stuff for – – – and use those as learning tools etc…
I don’t want to devote four months of tinkering to blender, if it will just lead me to c4d eventually….

Guys,
I appreciate your inputs…
While searching the internet I stumbled upon the open-source – Blender.
Do you guys have any opinions about starting there and working toward Cinema4D?
Or will the open-source nature eliminate the goodness that is great interface…??
Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the GREAT input.
NOAH – congrats on the success lately – been reading a lot about you.
I am a long time Final Cut USER as well, so your advice seems to hit home the closest.
Would love to pick your brain about the onslaught of HDV camcorders out there – in light of your AWESOME footage on Formosa. Wow that looked really good – Cannot afford 25 grand, but it is not far off I am sure.

OH – I completely agree about the software not mattering to the end product…
I guess what I am asking is – if I am going to spend a max of 5 to 8 hundred on an intro software, and then spend a few months tinkering around, what is the best tool to get started with?
Two years ago I almost bought LiveMotion and went with Flash instead…I guess that is what I am saying here.
I don’t want to start a hobby of threeD tutorials, and not have learned something that will overlap with the industry standards…
Thanks.

Blue for the Mac??? not yet – – – – sigh

OK,
you can have a 3d sphere but not control the amount of wrap the same way.
So I put two 3D spheres in a 3d model container…wrapped each at 50 percent…then spun one to make the rectangles overlap perfectly…the lines of the intersection may show up but I dont really care right now…
So anyway…that is how I did it!
-
Because I cannot map any textures to the half globe I have now.
I will try masking the three d model container with the sphere, but I have not had any luck masking three d objects…
